description

This second number of Geographical Locality Studies dips into locality by analysing the World’s settlements (villages, towns, cities) and their composite structures and complexity. The aim of the multidisciplinary editors and authors is to highlight the urban areas to give understanding about their suitability in the context of 21st century thinking of environmentalism and sustainability. The various articles analyse some parts of the Earth’s urban environment and bring examples from different locations of the planet to show how a settlement (or anything that strongly relates to the human sphere) is sustainable or unsustainable.This present issue gives publicity to 9 scientific papers which were written by an international team of expert researchers, higher education lecturers and specialist masters students. The diversity of their subject specialism (which involves geography, environmental science, urban planning, environmental management) provides a wider analytical view on the main topic of the journal; therefore, their tasks were to show specific examples brought over from their specialist and research areas to introduce the reader to locality, settlement planning and their sustainability, efficient management of urban transport and energy related topics. In accordance to the tradition of Frugeo Geography Research Initiative’s GLS series, “Locality and the (un)Sustainable Settlements” is commemorating the life of József Tóth, an exceptional scholar and academic who greatly influenced and shaped the modern human geography at an international level. He suddenly died on the 7th February 2013, but his work and achievements will always be found and traced in settlement geography.
